Chapter 340 Marquis of Dingbei: Expedition to Mobei
Chang Qing knelt down and burst into tears.

Yan Jinghong carefully hugged her into his arms and coaxed her softly: "Stop crying."

A single tear from her could make him fall a thousand miles away.

The person in her arms trembled slightly and raised her head. She looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Yan Jinghong."

"Ah."

He raised his hand and wiped her tears with his fingertips.

Chang Qing grabbed his hand and choked his throat: "In this life, you must not die before me." Tears rolled down and fell on his palm.

She is not afraid of life and death, but she is afraid that he will leave alone, and she is afraid that she will stay alone, like in the last life, let her guard a cold and cold corpse.

Yan Jinghong was silent for a long time, and replied: "Okay."

He thought, if he can't die first, then she will be fine in a second. After all, he will not let her walk the road to Huangquan alone.

In the middle of the night, the wind blows, and the candles outside Dingbeihou's mansion are always on. Under the candlelight, the silhouettes of people are long and slanted, reflected on the white snow, and they are alone.

Turning on the lamp, Manager Liu from the front yard walked over: "My lord, it's late at night, take a rest, Chang Qing probably won't be coming back tonight."

Snow covered the courtyard, Chi Xiuyuan looked at the intersection, as if talking to himself: "Will she never come back?"

Suddenly, belatedly, and then, panicked.

Liu Guanshi shook his head again and again: "How come, Chang Qing was brought up by you alone, how could you leave you and the Dingbei Houfu?"

Everyone in the house can see how much the prince loves Chang Qing. When Chang Qing was five years old, he suffered from chickenpox and a high fever. Even the doctor said that he could prepare for the funeral. Feed her water, and then she came back from the gate of hell.

Chang Qing values ​​righteousness, how could he disregard the grace of saving his life.

She, I'm afraid she regards the Dingbeihou's Mansion more than her life, that's why she poisoned herself.

Chi Xiuyuan laughed suddenly, and laughed at himself: "But I and the Dingbei Houfu abandoned her."

After the words fell, he walked up the stone steps and walked away on the snow.

"My lord, where are you going so late?"

Without looking back, Chi Xiuyuan hurriedly said, "I can't leave Chang Qing there alone."

After all, I can't bear it, after all, I can't let go.

At three minutes from midnight, in Chengqian Palace, the candles were still burning, and the emperor could not rest on his pillow, sleepless, holding the palace lantern, and playing chess alone.

Mr. An, who was in charge, came to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Wei Guang is here."

Chengdi fiddled with the chess pieces and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Mr. An replied, "Chang Qing."

Emperor Cheng paused his hand, the chess piece slid down, pondered for a while, and moved the white piece by one space: "Let's say he is late, and I rested."

"Here."

It's just a maid, and it's hard to deal with people who come to ask for people one after another.

Emperor Cheng blurted out: "Changqing," he smiled, picked up a chess piece, and did not drop it, and Emperor Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's not easy."

How can a man like King King Jing of Yan and Prince Dingbei be able to put all his effort into it, so how could he be the one in the pool.

Chang Qing, perhaps, will be a disaster for a beauty.

"Boom-thump-thump-"

In the middle of the night, the watch rang three times. Outside the Proton Mansion, the carriage stopped, and Eunuch Chang Fu hurriedly went to greet him, his face full of anxiety.

"My lord, you are back."

The car curtain was raised, Yan Jinghong stepped out of the carriage, his figure was thin, only wearing a white brocade robe.Eunuch Changfu couldn't help mumbling: "My lord, where did your cloak go? It's so cold, and your body hasn't recovered yet, why are you wearing such thin clothes? Be careful—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw His Highness stretching his hand into the sedan chair, and pulled out a small hand. The owner of that hand was wrapping His Highness's cloak.

It's this milk doll again!

Eunuch Changfu stared tremblingly at the people on the carriage: "You, you, you," he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't know whether it was out of anger or surprise, so Changfu said quickly, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" brought her back?"

Yan Jing's face turned cold all of a sudden: "Hugh is so rude."

"..."

Hugh being rude?Eunuch Changfu looked dazed, this was the first time his master scolded him for being rude, and he had done even more rude things before.

His master carried the girl off the carriage, brushed the snow off her shoulders, and asked softly: "Tianhan, your clothes are covered in snow, can you take a bath first?"

OK?His Highness has never been so patient to please others!And this tone, do you want to speak softly like this.

Eunuch Changfu was taken aback and was dumbfounded.

Yan Jinghong turned around and urged: "Hurry up and prepare water!"

"..."

One after the other, why is there such a big difference in tone!
Eunuch Chang Fu shuddered, and was startled several times by the yelling. He didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly went to prepare hot water, feeling a little panicked in his heart: Your Highness is too favoritism, ever since I met this girl, my temperament has surrounded her The girl is fickle, which is really not a good phenomenon.

The hot water was ready, and before Eunuch Changfu had time to kick his breath, Yan Jinghong ordered again: "Find a set of clothes that she can wear."

Eunuch Changfu was in a dilemma: "Your Highness, there are no maids in our house." It's late at night, and the Zhizi Mansion is on the outskirts of the city, where can I find it!Just send a piece of guard's clothes.

result--

Yan Jinghong asked Chang Qing very carefully: "Chang Qing, can you just wear mine first?"

What is a general, being able to wear His Highness's clothes is a blessing she has cultivated in her previous life, so she should be grateful and grateful!Dare to make do with it?
Evergreen nodded.

Frowning and pursing her lips, in Chang Fu's eyes, this expression is 'begging for perfection', a bold girl who is proud of being favored!

His Highness just tolerated her.He also found his favorite robe on weekdays, blushed and said 'it's clean', and handed it to the little girl with both hands.

Eunuch Changfu was dumbfounded: "..." What does His Highness's look of spring heart sprout mean?
Your Highness, are you really excited?There are so many good-looking young women from Dayan's aristocratic families who don't want to, but they have their eyes on this cold and hard little milk doll.what taste!
"I'll wait for you outside." Looking at Chang Qing, Yan Jinghong glanced at the people in the room, "Everyone back down."

Chang Fu, Lin Jin and others exited the back room.

Yan Jinghong said again: "Go further."

Everyone backed out again, out of the courtyard in the west wing.

"Farther." Yan Jinghong closed the door and ordered with a blank expression.

Everyone retreated more than ten steps, and if they retreat again, they will leave the Proton Mansion?

"Farther."

"..." Chang Fu couldn't hold back, his face was very colorful, "Your Highness, where do you want us to retreat?"

Yan Jinghong thought for a while: "Let's just go a hundred meters outside the house for now."

A hundred meters outside the house... for the time being?for the time being!
Eunuch Chang Fu boldly remonstrated: "Your Highness, in fact, you can't hear anything here." Chang Fu couldn't hold back, and told the truth, "What's so nice about a half-old child taking a bath."

Yan Jinghong rewarded him with one word: "Get lost."

Sure enough, loyal words are harsh, isn't what he said the truth?Could it be that the famous Yan Palace 72 guards would eavesdrop on a milk doll taking a bath?It's not that I haven't seen a woman!
Your Highness is too protective of food!
Afterwards, Yan Jinghong ordered the Yan Palace 72 guards in the dark to guard outside the Proton Mansion, and specifically ordered them to strictly guard tonight.

This is not only to bring back to take a bath, but also to stay and sleep.Chang Fu pricked up his ears to listen to the voices in the room, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear anything, he could only see the figure projected on the paper window, small in stature, wearing an ill-fitting robe.

Maybe it's because she never wears white, Chang Qing is not used to it, she lowered her head and pulled the sleeves, her long hair, which was always tied up in the usual way, was loosened, it grew to her waist, and the tip of her hair was still dripping.

In the last life, I was used to seeing Chang Qing dressed in military uniform. Yan Jinghong was stunned for a while before asking her: "It's snowing heavily at night, how about you rest in the Proton Mansion tonight?"

Chang Qing was silent for a while: "Okay."

Yan Jinghong poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "Drink some hot tea to warm up your body."

She sat down, clutching the teacup, her palms were slightly warm, as if in another life, in the last life, when she came back from the battlefield, Yan Jinghong would always leave her a cup of hot tea.

The eye sockets were a little hot from the heat of the tea, Chang Qing narrowed his eyes, and he fetched a clean silk cloth: "The water vapor is cold, don't freeze."

Yan Jinghong wiped the water from her hair, moving slowly, under the candlelight, his expression was focused,

He is always like this, in front of her, he doesn't look like a [-]-year-old monarch who will put down his figure and dignity and do some trivial things for her.

She looked at him, suddenly like a dream.

Outside the house, Eunuch Changfu's voice broke the silence of the night: "Your Highness."

Yan Jinghong kept moving his hands, a little displeased: "Say."

"Princess Mingrong is here."

Princess Mingrong must be so worried that she can't sleep at night, and she has to come in person at this hour, which shows that Princess Mingrong is infatuated.

In the room, Yan Jinghong only said: "It's late at night, so I said that the king has rested."

There is no wave, no trace, and the tone is perfunctory. Your Highness is sending someone away.

"Here." Eunuch Changfu couldn't bear it any longer. It was freezing cold, and he was shutting the door for a princess of a country.

"evergreen."

Chang Qing said very little and was used to silence, she just looked at Yan Jinghong seriously and listened to him carefully,

"I'm not on good terms with her," he explained.

She naturally knew that in her previous life, even though Yan Jinghong brought Mingrong into the harem, she never stepped into Mingrong's palace.

"Yan Jinghong." She called him suddenly.

"Ah."

Every time she called his name, he felt a suffocating palpitation in his heart.

With long hair scattered on her shoulders, she was sitting with her back to the candlelight, her eyes were covered with shadows, and the gray-black light condensed into jet black: "When did you come back?"

"When I was four years old."

At that time, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was the red tiles of the cold palace, those dead people and familiar faces were all there, except without her, without his Evergreen, the walking dead, or so.

"Since we are doing it all over again," she looked at him and stared at him for a long time. In those beautiful pupils, there was the same firmness in her previous life. She asked him, "Why do you still come to Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Yan Jinghong stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Chang Qing's face with his fingertips: "I won't come to Northern Wei Dynasty, I'm afraid I won't meet you."

Therefore, he followed the trajectory of the previous life, not daring to make a wrong step, or take a wrong step, and walked it again intact. He was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would not be able to find her, so he carefully repeated the same mistakes.

This fool, doesn't he remember the Yan Palace where blood flowed like a river in the last life?Don't you remember the thousands of troops under the wall of the Ten Meter Palace?Don't remember the suffocation of the sword piercing the heart?
"Yan Jinghong, if we repeat the same mistakes, the ending will remain the same."

He knew, but the ending was not as important as her.

Brushing her face, Yan Jinghong asked her like walking on thin ice: "Chang Qing, then let's not go the same way, okay?"

He was afraid, afraid that he would hug her cold body with his dead body just like in the previous life.At that time, he was already dead, but he saw her evergreen sword piercing his heart, and saw her drained of blood.

He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that she would die.

Chang Qing nodded heavily: "Okay."

The next day, above the court, Wen Yu, the Prime Minister of the Right, took the lead to start the memorial, and all the officials seconded it. The memorial was that the prince was fatuous, corrupt and perverted the law, and his remonstrances were conclusive. The officials asked the sage to abolish the prince and set up a wise man.

Emperor Cheng was furious on the spot and ordered the prince to investigate and deal with it. At three o'clock in the morning, Emperor Cheng announced it to the world with an edict.

"Following heaven's destiny, the emperor said, the prince is not virtuous, he is not benevolent, and it is difficult to become a general. I am deeply saddened. I will establish a monarch and a virtuous person. The prince will live up to my expectations. I will abolish the prince and move the house to Chengyang."

In one dynasty, the crown prince was deposed, and the world was in chaos. Emperor Cheng ordered Luo Wang to appease the people and calm the turmoil.

At Sishi, in Chengqian Palace, Emperor Cheng was restless. When he saw his foreign uncle coming from the palace, he immediately stepped forward: "What did you find?"

"Your Majesty, I have followed the prince's line to find out the truth, and found one person."

Emperor Cheng hurriedly asked: "Who?"

Uncle Chu paused: "Duke Wei."

"Boom!"

The cup in Emperor Cheng's hand fell to pieces.Wei Guogong is actually Wei Guogong, the manipulator behind the abolition of the crown prince. He thought he could find out Yan Jinghong's informant buried in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but in the end he found his own head.

A golden cicada escapes its shell.

Emperor Cheng sneered darkly: "King Jing is really calculating."

With the power of one person, the world of the Northern Wei Dynasty was turned upside down overnight without leaving any traces. This kind of thought and strategy is simply frightening.

Emperor Cheng thought for a moment, and then ordered the palace servants around him: "Go to Dingbei Hou Mansion to pass on my will."

Half an hour later, Eunuch Anqing, who was beside Emperor Cheng, came to Dingbeihou Mansion to deliver two edicts, one for the maid Chang Qing, and the other for the son of Wei Guang.

"Prince Rongde first entered the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the water and soil were difficult to accept, and he had vomiting blood. The green tea at the morning and evening festival has been tested by the imperial doctor, and there is nothing wrong with it. Changqing is innocent and has meritorious service in fighting swords. I will give you a hundred taels of gold as a reward. .”

"Fortunately, the emperor ordered Mobei to attack again. I specially ordered Prince Wei Guang to lead [-] troops to march north. The maid Chang Qing, who is excellent in martial arts, was specially appointed as Princess Huazhao to assist Prince Wei Guang to go to Mobei. .”

Chang Qing was not in the mansion, it was Chi Xiuyuan who received the imperial decree on his behalf, before the father-in-law who delivered the decree left, Chi Xiuyuan left first, drove his horse, and went to the Proton Mansion.

Eunuch Changfu stood outside the door, not daring to go in hastily to disturb the good affairs of the master, so he reported cautiously: "Your Highness, the prince Dingbei is here."

Yan Jinghong turned a deaf ear to it, served her a bowl of porridge, and placed it in front of her, with a normal expression, only the fingers holding the spoon were shaking slightly, revealing his restless mood: "Changqing, Mobei, are you going?" ?”

Chang Qing was silent for a moment, "Yes."

In the last life, she became a slave and sent to Mobei; this time, she was full of glory and went out with Chi Xiuyuan.

It seems that history is writing the same ending with different pens and inks.

In her previous life, she was sent to Dayan as a captive in Mobei.She looked resolutely, and said again: "I'm going to Mobei."

Mobei is the border between Tatar and the Northern Wei Dynasty. There have been wars all year round. He couldn't bear her to be in danger. He knew that she was stubborn, but there was nothing he could do.

After gazing for a long time, Yan Jinghong said in a deep voice, "Chang Qing, don't take risks alone, let me know where you are and what you are doing." He carefully asked, "How is it?"

Reticent, she just nodded and said yes.

Outside the house, Chi Xiuyuan's voice sounded.

"Chang Qing, I'll take you back home."

Chang Qing left the inner room, Yan Jinghong followed her around.

Chi Xiuyuan waited at the door, saw Chang Qing coming out, and pulled her to his side: "Thank you, Prince Rongde, for helping Chang Qing, Dingbei Hou's mansion will never forget, and we will definitely repay you."

He looked at Yan Jinghong with a bit of defense, a bit of scrutiny, and his eyes collided, and no one backed down.

"The matter between me and Chang Qing has nothing to do with the Dingbei Hou Mansion."

Clenching his hands tightly, he used all his rationality to bear it. More than once, he wanted to kill this man who was so tired in the previous life that he could not die well.

"Chang Qing is a member of the Hou Mansion, so I can't sit idly by." After finishing speaking, Chi Xiuyuan turned around and softened his tone, "Chang Qing, let's go back."

After Chang Qing nodded to Yan Jinghong, he turned and left.He stood at the door, the wind blowing the hem of his clothes, he was motionless, looking at the direction Chang Qing left, as if in a daze.

A hundred meters away from the Proton Mansion, Chi Xiuyuan suddenly asked: "Have you ever known him before?"

Still can't help being uneasy, he has become more and more trembling recently, it seems that since Yan Jinghong's appearance, he has been worrying about gains and losses.

Chang Qing nodded: "Yes."

Chi Xiuyuan's eyes dimmed slightly: "Prince Rongde went to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a hostage, but it's only been a month, how do you get to know him well?" He looked at her with inquiry and examination in his eyes.

Chang Qing pondered: "The Yanqing Palace was on fire on the night of the reception banquet, and I helped him."

She has a cold temper and doesn't like to get acquainted with others, except for Yan Jinghong.

Chi Xiuyuan almost blurted out: "If one day I am against him, Chang Qing, will you help me?"

He didn't know why such a hypothesis had suddenly grown up, he thought, probably this is all trees and trees are soldiers.

Chang Qing didn't hesitate: "Yes."

At least, to save his life, at least, to pay off all the kindness of upbringing.

Chi Xiuyuan frowned all the time, and then let go: "Chang Qing, let's go to Mobei together. I will teach you how to make kumiss and how to ride and shoot. You will definitely like the lonely smoke in the desert there."

"it is good."

In the 31st year of the Northern Wei Dynasty, on the [-]th day of the second month, the prince of Dingbei Marquis set out to conquer Tatar, and he personally named Chang Qing, the princess of Huazhao County, to accompany him and guard Mobei.

On the eve of the expedition, the weather was exceptionally fine, the sky was full of stars and the moon was full, Dingbeihou's Mansion held a farewell banquet, the front hall was extremely lively, but the backyard was deserted, and the lights were turned off early.

The door slammed softly, and the cool breeze leaked in. The footsteps were very light, as if they were afraid of disturbing the people on the bed, they approached slowly.

"evergreen."

Whispering softly, with lingering tenderness, Yan Jinghong approached, knelt on the side of the bed, and stared at the sleeping person in a daze.
